Stuff

My goto diff tool on Windows is the open-source WinMerge. On Linux, Ubuntu has an installable KDiff3, a member of the Qt-based KDE family of tools. At work we are using Centos 6 as our dev VM, and no installable KDiff3 is available.

So the README says to

$ ./configure kde4

and it should build and install. Our VMs had Qt installed already, but it failed getting the kdelibs. The instructions specified:

A colleague for whom I was trying to get this to work installed the correct lib, and then the $ ./configure kde4 worked fine. Probably totally obvious to a Linux guru, but a good exercise for a lib-newbie.
